Colon, Ciego y Apéndice: Anatomía

El intestino grueso constituye la última porción del sistema digestivo. El intestino grueso está formado por el ciego, apéndice, colon Colon The large intestines constitute the last portion of the digestive system. The large intestine consists of the cecum, appendix, colon (with ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid segments), rectum, and anal canal. The primary function of the colon is to remove water and compact the stool prior to expulsion from the body via the rectum and anal canal. Colon, Cecum, and Appendix: Anatomy (con los LOS Neisseria segmentos ascendente, transverso, descendente y sigmoide), recto y canal anal.
